Huskers Host Revised Fall Classic This Weekend

The Nebraska softball team opens its fall exhibition season this weekend, when NU hosts the Husker Fall Classic on Friday and Saturday at Bowlin Stadium.

In a change from the original schedule, Nebraska will face Colorado State in a doubleheader beginning at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday in the only two games of the day. On Sunday, UNO will join the tournament and the three teams will meet in round-robin play beginning with Colorado State vs. UNO at 11 a.m., followed by Nebraska and Colorado State at 1:30 p.m., and the Huskers and Mavs at 4 p.m.

Admission is free for the entire weekend and gates will open at Noon on Saturday and at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. The Husker Fall Classic opens an eight-game fall schedule for Nebraska that concludes next weekend with doubleheaders against Wayne State and Creighton at Bowlin Stadium. The Huskers are coming off a 41-14 season in 2011 and return eight starters and six all-conference players, the highest total in school history.
